Michael Schumacher’s race-used 2006 Ferrari 248 F1 car is headed to auction, and it could fetch more than $10-million during the RM Sotheby’s New York event in November. This exact vehicle was driven by the F1 legend to five victories in the San Marino, European, United States, French, and German Grands Prix.
It has been owned by a single private owner from new after the F1 vehicle was acquired directly from Scuderia in 2007. Since then, it has gained Ferrari Classiche certification, used for several private test sessions at the Fiorano circuit, and displayed publicly at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles for the ‘Seeing Red: 70 years of Ferrari’ exhibition in 2017.

- The LEGO designers worked closely with the team at McLaren Racing, developing their version of the car at the same time for the 2022 race season
- Includes features like the V6 cylinder engine with moving pistons, steering, suspension and differential for precision cornering
Since its sale by Maranello this hugely significant Ferrari has remained in single ownership within one of the world’s greatest collections, possessed by one of the most sophisticated enthusiasts, who has prized it for its power and, yes, its significance within the market as, simply, the ne plus ultra of modern competition prowess,” said RM Sotheby’s.
